Features

• Simple: Hides decoding process and provides simple and modern API
• Type-Safe: Most of the APIs are strictly typed to help your workflow
• Compliance: Fully complies with ICAO 9303, BSI TR-03137 and other standards
• Supports Bun, Node.js, Deno, Browsers, Cloudflare Workers
• Supports many curves from @noble/curves

Installation

# from NPM
npm i @li0ard/vds

# from JSR
bunx jsr add @li0ard/vds 

Usage

Parse digital seal

import { Seal } from "@li0ard/vds";

const seal = Buffer.from("DC03....", "hex");
const decodedSeal = Seal.decode(seal);

console.log(decodedSeal);

Verify digital seal

import { Seal, Verifier } from "@li0ard/vds";
import { brainpoolP256r1 } from "@noble/curves/misc.js";

const publicKey = Buffer.from("0408....", "hex");
const verifier = new Verifier(brainpoolP256r1, publicKey);

const seal = Buffer.from("DC03....", "hex");
const decodedSeal = Seal.decode(seal);

console.log(verifier.verifySeal(decodedSeal));

Map VDS with schema

import { Seal, VDSDocument, VDSProp, decodeSeal, FeatureCoding, encodeSeal } from "@li0ard/vds";

@VDSDocument({ documentRef: 0x5e03, version: 4 })
class ICAOEmergencyTravelDocument {
    @VDSProp({ tag: 2, coding: FeatureCoding.MRZ })
    mrz!: string;
}

const seal = Buffer.from("DC03....", "hex");
const decodedSeal = Seal.decode(seal);
const mapped = decodeSeal(decodedSeal, ICAOEmergencyTravelDocument);
console.log(mapped);

// Also serialize back
console.log(encodeSeal(mapped));

Parse ICAO barcode (IDB)

import { ICAOBarcode } from "@li0ard/vds";

const barcode = "RDB1B...";
const decodedBarcode = ICAOBarcode.decode(barcode);

console.log(decodedBarcode);

Verify ICAO barcode (IDB)

import { ICAOBarcode, Verifier } from "@li0ard/vds";
import { brainpoolP256r1 } from "@noble/curves/misc.js";

const publicKey = Buffer.from("0408....", "hex");
const verifier = new Verifier(brainpoolP256r1, publicKey);

const barcode = "RDB1B...";
const decodedBarcode = ICAOBarcode.decode(barcode);

console.log(verifier.verifyBarcode(decodedBarcode));
